.\" The -*- nroff -*- definitions below are for supplemental macros used
.\" in Tcl/Tk manual entries.
.\"
.\" .AP type name in/out ?indent?
.\"	Start paragraph describing an argument to a library procedure.
.\"	type is type of argument (int, etc.), in/out is either "in", "out",
.\"	or "in/out" to describe whether procedure reads or modifies arg,
.\"	and indent is equivalent to second arg of .IP (shouldn't ever be
.\"	needed;  use .AS below instead)
.\"
.\" .AS ?type? ?name?
.\"	Give maximum sizes of arguments for setting tab stops.  Type and
.\"	name are examples of largest possible arguments that will be passed
.\"	to .AP later.  If args are omitted, default tab stops are used.
.\"
.\" .BS
.\"	Start box enclosure.  From here until next .BE, everything will be
.\"	enclosed in one large box.
.\"
.\" .BE
.\"	End of box enclosure.
.\"
.\" .CS
.\"	Begin code excerpt.
.\"
.\" .CE
.\"	End code excerpt.
.\"
.\" .VS ?version? ?br?
.\"	Begin vertical sidebar, for use in marking newly-changed parts
.\"	of man pages.  The first argument is ignored and used for recording
.\"	the version when the .VS was added, so that the sidebars can be
.\"	found and removed when they reach a certain age.  If another argument
.\"	is present, then a line break is forced before starting the sidebar.
.\"
.\" .VE
.\"	End of vertical sidebar.
.\"
.\" .DS
.\"	Begin an indented unfilled display.
.\"
.\" .DE
.\"	End of indented unfilled display.
.\"
.\" .SO ?manpage?
.\"	Start of list of standard options for a Tk widget. The manpage
.\"	argument defines where to look up the standard options; if
.\"	omitted, defaults to "options". The options follow on successive
.\"	lines, in three columns separated by tabs.
.\"
.\" .SE
.\"	End of list of standard options for a Tk widget.
.\"
.\" .OP cmdName dbName dbClass
.\"	Start of description of a specific option.  cmdName gives the
.\"	option's name as specified in the class command, dbName gives
.\"	the option's name in the option database, and dbClass gives
.\"	the option's class in the option database.
.\"
.\" .UL arg1 arg2
.\"	Print arg1 underlined, then print arg2 normally.
.\"
.\" .QW arg1 ?arg2?
.\"	Print arg1 in quotes, then arg2 normally (for trailing punctuation).
.\"
.\" .PQ arg1 ?arg2?
.\"	Print an open parenthesis, arg1 in quotes, then arg2 normally
.\"	(for trailing punctuation) and then a closing parenthesis.

.SH DESCRIPTION
.PP
The \fB::javascript\fR package provides commands that generate
HTML and Java Script code\&.  These commands typically return an HTML
string as their result\&.  In particular, they do not output their
result to \fBstdout\fR\&.
.PP
.TP
\fB::javascript::makeSelectorWidget\fR \fIid leftLabel leftValueList rightLabel rightValueList rightNameList\fR ?\fIlength\fR? ?\fIminWidth\fR?
Construct HTML code to create a dual-multi-selection megawidget\&.  This
megawidget consists of two side-by-side multi-selection boxes
separated by a left arrow and a right arrow button\&.  The right arrow
button moves all items selected in the left box to the right box\&.  The
left arrow button moves all items selected in the right box to the
left box\&.  The \fIid\fR argument is the suffix of all HTML objects in
this megawidget\&.  The \fIleftLabel\fR argument is the text that
appears above the left selection box\&.  The \fIleftValueList\fR
argument is the values of items in the left selection box\&.  The
\fIleftNameList\fR argument is the names to appear in the left
selection box\&.  The \fIrightLabel\fR argument is the text that appears
above the right selection box\&.  The \fIrightValueList\fR argument is
the values of items in the right selection box\&.  The
\fIrightNameList\fR argument is the names to appear in the right
selection box\&.  The \fIlength\fR argument (optional) determines the
number of elts to show before adding a vertical scrollbar; it defaults
to 8\&.  The \fIminWidth\fR argument (optional) is the number of spaces
to determine the minimum box width; it defaults to 32\&.
.TP
\fB::javascript::makeSubmitButton\fR \fIname value\fR
Create an HTML submit button that resets a hidden field for each
registered multi-selection box\&.  The \fIname\fR argument is the name
of the HTML button object to create\&.  The \fIvalue\fR argument is the
label of the HTML button object to create\&.
.TP
\fB::javascript::makeProtectedSubmitButton\fR \fIname value msg\fR
Create an HTML submit button that prompts the user with a
continue/cancel shutdown warning before the form is submitted\&.  The
\fIname\fR argument is the name of the HTML button object to create\&.
The \fIvalue\fR argument is the label of the HTML button object to
create\&. The \fImsg\fR argument is the message to display when the
button is pressed\&.
.TP
\fB::javascript::makeMasterButton\fR \fImaster value slavePattern boolean\fR
Create an HTML button that sets its slave checkboxs to the boolean
value\&.  The \fImaster\fR argument is the name of the child's parent
html checkbox object\&.  The \fIvalue\fR argument is the value of the
master\&.  The \fIslaves\fR argument is the name of child html checkbox
object to create\&.  The \fIboolean\fR argument is the java script
boolean value that will be given to all the slaves; it must be "true"
or "false"\&.
.TP
\fB::javascript::makeParentCheckbox\fR \fIparentName childName\fR
Create an HTML checkbox and tie its value to that of its child
checkbox\&.  If the parent is unchecked, the child is automatically
unchecked\&.  The \fIparentName\fR argument is the name of parent html
checkbox object to create\&. The \fIchildName\fR argument is the name of
the parent's child html checkbox object\&.
.TP
\fB::javascript::makeChildCheckbox\fR \fIparentName childName\fR
Create an HTML checkbox and tie its value to that of its parent
checkbox\&.  If the child is checked, the parent is automatically
checked\&.  The \fIparentName\fR argument is the name of the child's
parent html checkbox object\&.  The \fIchildName\fR argument is the name
of child html checkbox object to create\&.
